Thankyou Zombie kitty, once again for giving me a decent idea to write! Have a hug! Keep writing as well, I need more of your stories! xx
Sunrise – The writer's block was hiding in the corner. I've whacked it with the baseball bat I keep under my bed, and now it's unconscious and bleeding heavily. Don't worry though; I've locked it up in my cupboard. It won't be getting out of there any time soon… :D
Hermione 2000 – ooh, is the book good? I was gonna read it, but my mum's nicked it first. Thanks for liking the chappie
Br1de-of-fr3ddy – I'm writing more dear, hope you like it – I think I got a bit carried away though lol. Ah well, tell me what you think :D

"Ha! I've got you now bud!"
"Cat! Oh my gosh!" Rimmer squealed, his light bee wobbling, "There's a fish behind you!"
Cat ignored him, and flexed his claws, "I'm gonna play with you!"
"Cat no really, there's a fish coming after us!"
"I'm gonna play with you!" he sang again.
"There's a fish behind you!"
"There is?"
"Yes!"
Cat swerved round, "Where?"
Rimmer smirked inside his light bee, "Smeghead!" he had just enough time to whack Cat round the head with his bee before scuttling off once again.
"Ouch!"
…….
"Oh sir, I am extremely sorry about this, but I'm going to have to knock you unconscious!"
"NNNOOOOO!" screamed Lister, "ANYTHING BUT THAT!"
Kryten had no idea what Mr Lister was on about, and frankly he didn't want to find out. This was good, because he would have found it highly disturbing.
"I'm so sorry sir!" he said, flicking Lister between the eyes with a light popping noise. It did the trick, and Lister fell back to the floor in a crumpled heap.
…….
Cat had finally cornered Rimmer. He had nowhere to run… roll.
He squeaked, "Really this time! There really is a fish behind you!"
"Shut up bud, I'm not that stupid, I mean give me some credit!"
Rimmer bounced his light bee up and down hysterically, "Cat! He's gonna kill you! Turn around!"
"I'm not falling for that again. It's time for some fun!"
Oh dear, and to think, there really was a very angry looking Ungotrillian Flopfish behind Cat. He had heard the noise and had been sent to check up on the prisoners.
There were two things Rimmer could have done in this situation:
One he could have waited patiently for the killer fish to get Cat, and rolled away as fast as he could.
Two, he could do what he did do. Which was the hero option. Now normally this option wouldn't even occur to Rimmer; his cowardly brain would only come up with one answer and his legs would leg it as fast as they possibly could.
And so, the reason he chose Option two was because he felt guilty.
So incredibly guilty.
He had left them all in that room. Left them there on purpose. None of this would have happened if he had tried to help in the first place. Also, Cat had just saved their lives, and although he really hated the feline, he couldn't help feeling that the debt needed to be repaid.
Ahh, guilt, such a wonderful thing.
His conscience was having a party.
…….
"Okay Holly, we need to get out of here!" Kryten had made sure that Lister was in a comfortable position, and now was trying to get Holly to care that they were stuck in a room and were about to be killed.
"Yeah," Holly said, with a swish of her blonde locks, "I can't imagine it's very nice being prisoners in your own ship and being held by an army of evil killer fish that are working out how to kill you and not leave much of a mess afterwards."
"You're right."
"So you want to get out do you?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, I'll open the doors then." Holly vanished form the tiny screen, then popped back up a second later, "Oh dear," she said with that annoyingly far away trying-to-look-a-tad-bit-sad smile, "those evil fish buggers seem to have overridden my overdrive."
"What?"
She sighed, "I can't open the doors; they've buggered my system up."
"Oh dear!"
"I know."
"Well what are we going to do!"
"I don't know, I've only got the IQ of 6000 PE teachers. You can't expect me to get you out of every little bit of trouble you get into!"
"But you never get us out of any trouble we get into!"
"Exactly, so why change now?"
…….
Rimmer steeled himself for the leap, taking a deep breath he bounced as high as he could. It was as if the world was running on some crappy batteries that made everything go so very very slowly. Rimmer could feel the air rushing past the string ball he was in. He narrowly avoided Cat's claws, hopped it over his shoulder, and dived down to where the fish was getting ready to pounce. He tried to land by it.
Of course, it's very difficult to control one's light bee when you are trapped inside and wrapped with a hefty amount of string. So as you can imagine, he didn't land by it, he landed on top of it, and squished it into a fishy pâté.
Mmmmmm, how lovely.
One less fish to worry about!
If Rimmer could have puked he would have puked. The sight of that disgusting fish lying mangled and squashed under his light bee was even more revolting than Lister's feet. And for those that don't know, that's pretty revolting.
"Hey bud, what d' you know? You were actually telling the truth!" Cat said spinning round with a grin.
Rimmer would have swallowed hard and shivered.
"Thanks buddie!" Cat said hoisting Rimmer up as if picking up a smelly sock. "Now where were we?"
Rimmer was still a little shaken, "What?"
"Oh yeah," Cat smirked, flicking his shiny claws out, "I was gonna kick your stringy little ass!"
And so, even though Cat and Rimmer had saved one another lives, it didn't change their friendship at all.
